| Tested and Tricked Out: The SAR 109T 9MM Subgun |
| 2021-04-12 |
| [Guns America Digest] The submachine gun is a fascinating firearm. Introduced to the world by Hugo Schmeisser in 1918 as the MP18 and chambered in 9MM, the submachine gun was built as a close to medium-range firearm able to put a good number of pistol-caliber rounds on target and fast. The "sub" in submachine gun refers to that pistol caliber chambering, and of course, the full-auto nature of the firearm labels as "machine gun." In the last 103 years, the submachine gun has seen all sorts of technological advances. But the reality for the American gun owner? Acquiring a full-auto version of this firearm will be damned expensive. For most of us, prohibitively expensive. Another option for those who like the look and feel of the submachine gun is a semi-automatic version, like the 109T 9mm Subgun produced by Turkish gun manufacturer Sarsilmaz (SAR) and imported into this country by SAR USA. The 109T Subgun is SAR’s semi-auto version of their full-auto gun used by police in various foreign nations. Yes, it looks like an AR Pistol—complete with AR-style controls, a rail atop the receiver, and an AR-looking handguard—and one might assume it is gas-operated. |

| #1 I like the Bren 2. But I either need a long gun to 800+ yds or I need my SIG. The rest are bulky toys (unless you are on the wrong end of them) |
